NASHVILLE, Tenn. – An argument between a
man and a woman ultimately led to their deaths Saturday night in what police are
calling a murder-suicide.

Metro police were called to the Whispering
Oaks apartment complex off Harding Place in sou...
th Nashville around 9:45 p.m. after receiving
reports of shots fired.

Upon their arrival, officers found 22-year-old
Sherica Gray's body in the breezeway outside what was later determined to be her
apartment.

Authorities said Boris Arapovic, 20, was found inside the
apartment with self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

Arapovic was transported
to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.


Witnesses told police the two had been arguing before the shooting.


Neighbors told us the couple lived in the apartment for a few
months and until Saturday, the couple seemed happy.

Susan French is the
Outreach Service Director for the YWCA.  She educates the public about domestic
violence.

While she could not speak specifically about the Gray case,
she did say it is common for neighbors, friends and family to be in the dark
about an abusive relationship.

"It's really important for people to get
involved and know the resources out there," she said.  "Even if they do not feel
like they are a victim of domestic violence themselves, they need to know the
resources so they can pass it along to someone else."

Tennessee ranks
fifth in the nation for women murdered by men.  More than 90 percent of the
women knew their killer.

"What we know about domestic violence is that
it will start out with the verbal abuse, the mental abuse and some controlling
behaviors like not allowing someone to have access to their friends or family
members," she said.  "Typically when the physical abuse starts the emotional
abuse and the other abuse has been going on a while."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Police said a man who was shot in the head during

It happened in the middle of the afternoon
just a few minutes after Rodney and Cora had talked to him. They had  left him at his girlfriend's house and expected to see him later. "We drove off and get to the house and I put my key in the door and got a phone call  and said you need to get back over there as soon as possible because your son  just got killed," said Rodney. "His friend said he was getting ready to  go and when he made it down, halfway down the street he said he heard some  gunshots and he turned around and he said D was laying across the street," Cora  explained.

saw could help," Rodney added.
